About this mod

Become a more realistic Vigilante Fixer!
Whether you're running and gunning or hacking on the fly, this mod offers a more immersive experience with a realistic HUD/UI that hides away when your Profiler is not in use, allowing you to focus on hitting your targets.

Mod Overview:
The goal of this mod is to make the profiling system more strategic and discourage simultaneous use with firearms. The idea is to create a trade-off: either you enter full combat mode with limited information, or you use your phone to gather intel and hack, which comes at the cost of reduced accuracy with firearms. This design forces players to choose between combat effectiveness and information gathering, adding a layer of strategy to the game.


Details:

The mod consists of three scripts:
- the_fox_mod: The core script where the profiler triggers the UI/HUD.
- the_fox_hacking_mode: Combines the_fox_mod with the hacking_mode addon, where the UI/HUD and hacking abilities are directly tied to your profiler.
- hacking_the_fox_mode: A more integrated combination of the_fox_mod and hacking_mode where you must first enable your hacking ability (similar to the original hacking mode) to then use your profiler and toggle the UI/HUD with it.

Compatibility:
You must choose between enabling Hacking Mode, The Fox Mod, The Fox Hacking Mode, or Hacking The Fox Mode in the config file to avoid any incompatibilities.


Hidden UI Elements :

The UI elements that are hidden until you activate the profiler so fare are:
  • The Battery
  • The Minimap
  • The Felony meter
  • The Skill/Hack equipped (e.g., jam comms, grenades)
  • The gun equipped
  • Tagged Enemies (rank and outline) ⇽ Can be completely disabled with the files provided in the "Optional" Folder ||| This UI mechanic is not a feature in hacking_the_fox_mode!!!
The following UI element is hidden while using the profiler:
  • The Reticle

Installation:
  • Drag and drop the content of the patch folder into your unpacked patch folder.*
  • Repack your unpacked patch folder
  • Drop Living_City_ADDONS_CONFIG.txt into the data_win64 folder of your game.

*If by any chance you have a patch1.dat and a patch1.fat in your data_win64 folder due to installing the Addons Loader mod, then you might want to install my mod by unpacking patch1.dat and dropping the loose files of my mod in it.
